Old Picture, New Layout

The bottom two layouts were done by Wendy. The star album isn't done yet... I still have to fill it in with more photos, but once it is done, I'll post the whole thing.

Paper Bag Scrapbook

This is an Easter scrapbook I made for my aunt a few years ago. She visited our house for Easter and took lots of pictures, so I made this for her to add her pictures to. It is a paperbag book. Most of the ribbons sticking out of the top and sides pulls out a tag on which she could place other pictures.

The pocket of this apron is made from acetate.

Another acetate pocket.

Things I Made Today

I had so much fun playing with fabric today. I made the balls first and then wanted to make some birds to go with them, so I just cut out the fabric and started hand sewing. I wanted them to look a little more shabby than they do, I even tried adding some extra hand stitching on the outside to make them look a little rougher, but they still aren't exactly as messy (like the balls) as I'd like. I think they're cute though.

Chocolate Fondue with Macaroons

Another Page! Getting lots done tonight. These are Shabby Princess again. She's got some great kits! This is Rummage Chic again. Not sure if I love the flowers on there, but wanted to add something.

Chocolate Fondue

This is the next page for my recipe book. Cute, hu? I used Shabby Princess' kit called Rummage Chic.

June 12th

Let's see if I can figure this thing out.

I've been looking at a blog called Daring Cardmakers for about a week now. Seems that I need to have a blog in order to post my pictures of cards for these fun card making challenges, so I'm starting one right now. This is it. Day one.

Now I just have to get a card made and see how it goes.

In order to see if I can put a picture in this, I'm going to put my fondue recipe that I've created to go with our friends' wedding gift. A fondue pot! I LOVE fondue... so I thought this would be a great fun wedding gift! Besides, I got one for my wedding. I'm also going to do a chocolate fondue layout. Along with the gift, I'm going to give the ingredients (not the cheese... that might go bad before they get back from the honeymoon, but the wine and the kirsch, nutmeg and a nutmeg grater).

The kit I used for these is by Tracey Collins at www.retrodiva.net. It is called Aidan and it is awesome for boy layouts!
